Poem, Just A Bit Late

The song was just wonderful, and the prayer was just fine.
I'm so happy our family is all here on time.
So now let's all listen to what the Speaker will relate.
His subject? "Punctuality, and Not Being Late."
A small crowd this Meeting, not many here,
But wait just a minute, what's that noise in the rear?
Oh, just a few brothers, 10, 15, 25.
It took some fast driving, but they made it alive.
Brother attendant, is that seat taken, I don't mean to be blunt.
Yes it is dear sister, you'll have to sit in the front.
Sit in the front? It's embarrassing, it looks so bad,
As I cross over people, I sure hope they're not mad.
May I get through dear brother and pardon me please.
That's quite alright sister. Oh, my poor knees.
Another one? OUCH! That's alright brother, I know how it goes,
They'll be fine when they stop hurting, they were only my toes.
That's over I'm back listening now. Oh what did you say?
'Excuse me, Excuse me', Oh, that's quite okay.
When brother are late they know they're excused,
At least they come anyway to hear some good news.
Better late than never as someone once said.
But better never late is much better instead.
Though late, sometimes often, they're imperfect like me.
They don't plan to be late, they don't like to be.
Their love for Jehovah and their brother is true,
I know they'll improve 'cuz they really want to.
And so until then let's patiently wait,
For our fine Christian brothers who sometimes are late.
